H knows all about HDR, he taught me.
His works go far beyond HDR now, he blends and selectively illuminates areas much like HDR. By doing it yourself you control what elements have illumination, unlike HDR which just illuminates everything and gives a generally nasty looking fake image.

Hi Mitchell,
I agree that HDR can produce a fake looking image. One of my brothers is into landscape HDR which is why I asked. The images that I've seen from him are all a little over the top colour and lighting wise, however, I can see that going HDR in a more laid back fashion could really bring out some extra aspects of an image without making them look fake. A tricky business to pull it off properly I'm sure.
I had to smirk at your description of HDR as that's exactly how my brother's shots appear to me. I'll look at the photo once again with new eyes.
